As for the similarity of the shape to the Prius, an even better example than airplanes would be birds. Ignore the colored feathers, and a robin looks like a blackbird looks like a sparrow looks like whatever other generalist bird you can think of, because physics means there's one best shape for that kind of bird to be.
Yup, all birds look alike.
